El propósito de este libro es de describir el período y las circunstancias en que Cristo vivió, para que el lector pueda ver más claramente lo que sucedía en aquel tiempo, entrar en sus ideas, familiarizarse con sus hábitos, modos de pensamiento, su enseñanza y culto.
Jesucristo era verdaderamente Dios y verdaderamente hombre -y como hombre fue estrictamente de su tiempo, habiendo crecido en el seno de las costumbres sociales, dentro de un hogar religioso, con hermanos, amigos y compañeros, y trabajó con otros como carpintero-. Como tal, anduvo en conformidad a los tiempos en que vivió. Habló y enseñó a la manera de entonces. Sin embargo, se dijo de Él: " Jamás hombre alguno ha hablado como este hombre!" Este libro:
- Da al lector un mejor entendimiento de muchas de las expresiones y alusiones en el Nuevo Testamento
- Presenta nuevas evidencias de la veracidad de la historia y una percepción de las enseñanzas de Jesucristo en contraste con las de sus contemporáneos
- Transporta al lector a la sociedad civil ordinaria de Palestina durante la época de Cristo. Lo lleva a mezclarse codo con codo con los hombres y mujeres de aquel período, para verlos en sus hogares y familias, para aprender sus hábitos y maneras de hacer, y para seguirlos en su vida ordinaria.
Esta obra es la de un detallista erudito, pero se presenta con un estilo popular y legible, y añadirá significación, colorido y profundidad espiritual a las palabras y acontecimientos del Nuevo Testamento.

Jesus Christ was truly God and truly man - and as a man he was strictly of his time, having grown up within social mores, within a religious home, with brothers, friends and colleagues, and worked with others as a carpenter. As such, he walked in accordance with the times in which he lived. He spoke and taught in the manner of then. Yet it was said of Him: "Never has any man spoken like this man!" This book:
